Reviewed by Roy T. James for Readers' Favorite

Rescued Out of the Shadows by B.K. Stubblefield is a collection of short stories, inspired by real events, of rescued dogs coming “out of the shadows” and into light and love. The book begins with two abandoned puppies, and how those puppies, Hannah Mae and Honey Bea, find their way to a loving veterinarian and reach a perfect home. Then there is frisky two-year-old pup, Frodo, and his adventures with the police. Ellie May, an abused dog who finds a good home, and Rosie, who managed to recover after being shot badly join the group. Homer, an old dog who finds a sympathetic home, and rescued puppy, Otis, complete the crowd. Mention is also made of Pet Smart Charities, which has partnered with the shelter; an organization that helps homeless pets all over the country.

Rescued Out of the Shadows by B.K. Stubblefield presents the stories associated with each pet with sympathy and candor. In each and every case, the rescue act has been made possible by the constant involvement and selfless service of some animal lover, which is described poignantly in this book. That is to say, the receptive character of the person who rescued the dog is as important as the adorable nature of the dog. The narrative gives equal importance to both and is a light, refreshing read. The rescuers deserve applause and the rescued are the recipients of bountiful love. A good read.

The Devil drove down a rural country road in Pike County, Kentucky and left a squirming bagful of life to die in the wake of his acrid exhaust. Within this bag was little Hannah Mae and Honey Bea, and within this book is the story of their exciting rescue by those who have chosen to fight the devil in all his forms! These Kentucky heroes are a special breed known as Animal Rescuers and they, like those they save, travel in packs to be reckoned with.

Donating 50% of all profits to animal rescue, B.K. Stubblefield's book "Rescued: Out of The Shadows" not only spotlights many of those unseen innocent victims on the dark side of Kentucky, but offers you many exciting and happily tear-stained adventures in addition to helping animals like those you learn about along the way.

This book is a days read, but you will finish much later than expected as you linger on every touching moment of an instance on earth when good people trump the abusers and life wins the fight! The range of individual circumstance and rescue is widely varied. From the friendly and famous Mr. Frodo of Louisville, Ky. (underground dogfighting victim found mauled, duck taped and almost dead), Miss Rosie (victim of a drive-by shooting, amputee and now emissary to Mr. Walter Oster a Vietnam Vet and retired Police Detective) to an old school building transformed into a warm-hearted woman's dream and called Barktown Rescue.

In addition to your own enjoyment this collection is chocked full of great examples to read to your children as well. God willing, perhaps Kentucky's Blue Grass will less frequently be stained Red if they grow (and we become aware) to take action as have those good people in this narrative. I read this book and can honestly recommend it to everyone, most especially animals lovers. I remain ever grateful for this opportunity.
